Dear Chuka Umunna - When you read a post in the Guardian on budget day in the UK, Wednesday, titled "Labour backbenchers form high-profile group to respond to budget" you have to go to the heart of the story to try to find out what is going on.

Jeremy Corbyn was elected leader of the Labour Party in September 2015 and has faced a barrage of attacks from within Labour, the Tories and the mainstream media so Mr Umunna what's with the latest piece posted as news at the Guardian?

Is it news, spin, real or fantasy?

According to the Guardian report an "Alliance of MPs including Chuka Umunna and Chris Leslie was formed to ‘give proper scrutiny to the government’" which could be fine if the team was formed with the approval of Mr Corbyn and his shadow cabinet; if it was not why are MPs behaving in such a derisory manner?

The Guardian report continues;

A team of high-profile Labour backbenchers have organised their own coordinated response to George Osborne’s budget, fearing Jeremy Corbyn and his shadow cabinet would struggle to do so.

The MPs – including several who have ministerial experience, or have held senior shadow cabinet portfolios – made a series of interventions in the House of Commons, and toured the television studios after Osborne delivered his eighth budget, to put across their own version of Labour’s response.

Chuka Umunna, who briefly joined last year’s leadership race himself before pulling out and Chris Leslie, the former shadow chancellor are part of a group working separately from the shadow cabinet, to beef up Labour’s economic credibility.

If that is true it smacks on another Et tu, Brute moment from the very people who should be supporting the party leader and his shadow cabinet; they could and should be sharing their former front bench experience not using it to undermine Jeremy.

But the divisions were plain for all to see from day one of Corbyn's leadership when highly paid politicians acted like spoiled children who did not win the egg and spoon race; they ditched the leader, left him to sink or swim while sticking a few daggers in his back and high-tailed it for the backbenches.

Having managed to stuff the PLP with politicians to the right of the party the Bitterites are now intent on doing the same to the NEC so that they can undermine Mr Corbyn further and tear the Labour Party apart.

Their protestations that they are doing it for the right reasons have no credibility; the road to Hell is after all paved with good intentions.

But we are all Labour and there should not be a right and left of this party but rather a left-wing political party working to hold the Tories to account with the final goal removing the Conservatives from office.

Reports in the mainstream media that simply undermine Mr Corbyn will not unify, improve Labour's standing or attract votes; and when those reports are by way of self-serving MPs, some who did not want to stand for party leader last year but changed their minds when the first real Labour party leader in years comes along the writing is on the wall.

If the Guardian post has caused anger consider worse in the Sun, Telegraph and Huffington Post helped along by a series of Labour MPs who seem unable to air their dirty laundry away from prying eyes and greedy ears who want Mr Corbyn and Labour to fail.

Sadly some voters will conclude that you Mr Umunna, Dan Jarvis and others like Jess Phillips simply want a Labour party that is a poor man's version of the Conservative party; they may also conclude that is because you have it all to gain from some Tory policies and some to lose from real Labour Party politics that tries to rebalance the rich poor divide.

Allies of Corbyn played down the significance of the backbench alliance, saying the leader would continue to hold the chancellor to account for “six years of failure”.

However, the grouping of economic specialists thinks of itself as Labour’s “first 11”. Fellow Labour MPs have dubbed it the “G10” – a grouping that grew out of those who refused to serve in Corbyn’s shadow cabinet – and is said to meet regularly, before the weekly gathering of the parliamentary Labour party.

Other Labour MPs appear to be sceptical about the group, painting them as an exclusive “cool gang” that believe themselves the rightful rulers of the Labour party. One MP said the effort was hopeless and the former shadow cabinet ministers should realise they are making matters worse by setting themselves up to look like Blairite plotters.

And honest ordinary people like this writer agree with that assessment.

So Mr Umunna "Who are Ya" and why are you not doing your job instead of playing politics in divisive gangs?

In July 2015 following the General Election the Daily Mirror report "Chuka Umunna: Labour 'behaving like a petulant child' after Election defeat" was aptly titled but isn't that what you and your 'team' are doing now?

Now, having spent the past half year telling him he's doing everything wrong, your group has finally cottoned on to the fantastic job Jeremy is doing and the fact that the vast majority of the party is behind him, and you think you can switch to "shadowing" him instead, in the hope of muscling in on some of his support.

And they just keep on coming, some via comments below others from Facebook groups that support Labour and Jeremy Corbyn and his team.

The consensus for this group of people, including the author, is that we are 100% supportive of Mr Corbyn and want our Labour politicians to follow suit.

Time the knives were directed across the House at the real enemy-the Tory Party.

[Updates will continue plus additional names can be viewed in the comment section below-please let me know if I have any duplicate names] Apologies to those missed on Facebook as it has been tricky to catch everyone-thanks.

April 28, 2016-No reply has been received from the Labour Party, Umunna and others.

But it is suffice to say this letter was sent to those parties and viewed extensively online and has reached the target.

I agree completely with these sentiments and find it increasingly harder to contain my anger at these MPs determined to undermine the good work of Labour's leadership. In a week when polls show that Labour is moving ahead. These self serving career persists, throw out yet another anchor. Is it any wonder the membership feel they are closer to the opposite benches, than the membership they rely on to get them elected.

Please add my name. Mr Umunna had the potential opportunity to lead the party and direct policy accordingly, but he chose to withdraw from the race. He may not agree with the direction that Mr Corbyn is taking the party, but that is entirely different to plotting and undermining the leadership which he and this group are doing.

Chuka: you and your ilk were part of Labour's failure last May. Labour's timidity in the face of destructive Tory ideological was lambasted by the world's top economists.

Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell now have an Economic advisory panel comprising a selection of those outstanding and respected economists. The idea that a selection of malcontent back-bench MPs can match this expertise is laughable - and delusional on your part. Your faction lost the leadership election for good reasons. If cannot get behind the party's elected leader, then it's time for you to join another party, or resign your seats!

Please add my name. One thing possible to put is Scotland. New Labour was wiped out in Scotland due to Labour policies being to close to the Tories #i.e Tory lite. The comments seen from potential Scottish voters have been the obvious nationalist who will never forgive Labour for joining the Tories over the IndyRef. However, there have been some none nationalist who say that like change of direction in labour to the left but will not vote whilst the PLP continue to vote down the policies that effect them in Scotland, for example Trident.

Corbyn has been warned about results in May, however, Scotland was always going to be a struggle. The latest polls have suggested that it is Kezia Dugdale who is failing Labour in Scotland not Corbyn. The scottish voters dont like the fact Corbyn is hamstringed by the New Labour MPs and Kezia with her campaigning about the Indyref and lying that she did not join the tories has obviously had a detrimental effect. Furthermore, she was deputy to Jim Murphy a man so ridiculed in Scotland for taking for granted voters and the assumption that Labour will always be strong in Scotland.

Please tell me would the likes of Liz Kendall, Yvette Cooper and Andy Burnham honestly turnaround the fortunes in Scotland, when their campaigns were based on many of the things the majority of voters in Scotland hated about New Labour, Blair and "Red Tories"

In the mean time all these dissenters are doing is making it easy for the Tories to get away, quite literally, with murder.

I'm a member of the GC of Hastings and Rye Labour Party. I think Jeremy Corbyn has done a magnificent job and really risen to his position. He has been the best Labour Opposition leader I can remember going back to 1980. He has had to stand his ground not only against the benches he faces, but the backstabbing ones behind him. Now, having spent the past half year telling him he's doing everything wrong, your group has finally cottoned on to the fantastic job Jeremy is doing and the fact that the vast majority of the party is behind him, and you think you can switch to "shadowing" him instead, in the hope of muscling in on some of his support. You are SO transparent it's hardly believable.

I think Ummuna and his cohorts have conveniently forgotten something very important: namely that the Tory-lite wing of the Labour Party which they represent LOST THE LAST TWO ELECTIONS! They are not and never have been socialists. It is time for them to go. Corbyn is the future. Blair is the past

very disappointed in you Mr Umunna,
I have always been a labour voter, now am a green candidate until the party comes out against Fracking and Trident ie follows Jeremy's example who is supported by hundreds of thousands of Labour voters if not millions in this country. It is time for the likes of you to go, the writing is on the wall, open your eyes.

Stop this incessant divisive and mischievous conspiring and start putting the same amount of effort and commitment into opposing this vindictive and ideological Tory government. You have been at it from the day the new leadership took its position after massive support, at the behest at your mentors Blair and Mandelson. We do not want a lighter shade of Tory in the form of Blairism we want real Labour socialist opposition to this government. Do your job along with your fellow conspirators. You know your actions are worse than anything any Corbyn supporters have done. We and importantly, the people of this country need organised opposition to this extreme Tory ideology Tony Blair and his policies and record had already become a liability not an asset.

I all of the party get solidly behind its current leader we will win the next election because by the time this Tory government has damaged the lives of ordinary people even more over the next four years in the way it has so far those ordinary folk will be ready for the radically refreshing change that Jeremy Corbyn can and will bring.

I feel safe with not just with my life and our economy. Labour does as we know, have the best record with the economy. Borrowing the least amount of debt, but paying back the more also. Now we have a leader with true British values: Community, Support, Morals, Integrity, Honesty, Trustworthy, Compassion, Empathy, Faith, Strength, Hope, Inspiration and enterprising society.

Why are you wasting your skills, knowledge, resources and time on attacking our leader rather than strengthening the attack and opposition against the Conservatives? Why are you letting the people of the UK down so badly like that? I understand if you don't agree with Jeremy, that is your opinion. We however, democratically overwhelmingly voted for him. So please respect that, like we have to respect the Conservatives being in office with under 24% majority. Jeremy had 3 X that majority, he had more than Tony Blaire. Please respect that. And do the job we pay you to do. Otherwise, you're not doing your job as you're not representing us, and you could end up being voted out of your own constituency.

I have been for many years and also do not recall Jeremy Corbyn attacking the policies of Mr Blair when Blair was in power. He did cast his vote against his policies but I never heard anything derisory about the then Prime Minister coming from Jeremy Corbyn. The attacks on Jeremy have been brutal and it's about time that some MPs within the party get the message that Jeremy Corbyn is what the members of the party want as leader. It would appear that the purpose of these constant attacks is to undermine the Labour Party in opposition and to divert attention away from the swift distribution of wealth by this Tory Government to the rich at the expense of the poor.

Adding my name as a person who rejoined the Labour Party when Jeremy Corbyn won the party leadership. I voted for him and believe in him. It's about time that the 'Blue Labour' lot made their exit - Chuka & Co. are not wanted, or needed, in the Labour Party.

Please add my name. Jeremy Corbyn is doing terrifically against all adversity. He has been trying to bring morality, decency, proper intelligence and integrity back into British politics, government and his own party. Yet he gets opposition from both from the Conservative Benches mocking and refusing him to speak for more than a few seconds, and his own party who are not interested in anything except their own careers, opportunity and power nest at the cost of the British People and Country. This country is being sold for a song and all its carefully constructed internal structure disintegrated. This structure to provide stability, fairness and justice was not just here since Labour came in after the war, but right the way back to Magna Carter and King Alfred Common Law and system of hundreds and tithes, to protect the country, administer justice and help bring in revenue for the crown and raise an army if the country was under threat from opposition within or without. It is downright treason and young bucks selling off the house, home and everyone within.

We need someone with morality and fight. Back Jeremy or shut up and join some other party.

Please consider these words Chukka Umuna, in your further actions.

We can be a 'broad church' whilst acknowledging diversity and to destroy the church rather nurturing that diversity will simply and stupidly result in a destroyed church?!?

I am a socialist and was a member of the Labour Party until Clause 4 was removed when I resigned my membership. Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonell and the MPs who unite behind them are the best thing that has happened to the Labour Party for the last forty years. The clue here is in the title, the "Labour" Party. Here to protect and promote the interests of the ordinary people, representing those who are suffering as a result of 37 years of constant government on behalf of the privileged. The Labour Party came into its own after a catastrophic split in the Liberal Party in the early 1920s. Don't let the Labour Party cease to exist because of a catastrophic split of its own almost a hundred years later. Get behind the party leadership, work to serve your constituents and pull together to start the thankless task of trying to undo all the damage that has been done in the last 40 years. Or go your own way, but not as members of the Labour Party.

The failure to win 2 winnable elections is ye fault of the Blairites. The attitude of ye general public is the legacy of the blair years and the failure to be anything other than a slightly pinker version of the tories. Remember thatchers words "my finest achievement is Tony Blair and new labour). Not only the party but also large parts of the population are far more left wing than the plp. The tories only managed 24% of the vote. Why are you destroying the labour party for a sniff of this minority.

The labour party will not allow you and the other right wingers to wreak continuing damage to our party which I joined in 1965. Please support the democratically elected leader. Or at least please just keep quiet. It's over. Get that we'll paid job from your mates and key the grown ups get on with running the party and winning the election

If the right are serious about winning in 2020 they should listen to what the public and what labour party members want. Dignity in politics is not achieved through personal narcissism and pursuing a vain self important agenda. MPs are elected to represent their constituencies and we expect open debate and discussion over political issues not personally motivated bullying and manipulation to achieve a minority self centred objective. If you have something to say, say it upfront in an open room , have that debate and move on.

Well done with letter, expressed my sentiments to the letter. I have been a member since 1984, a Councillor in both Town & Unitary for 20 years. I am totally committed to the Labour Party. Under Blair after 18 years, we won 3 Elections. He was a man of the time. I cried with joy when he won in 97' I believed he would change Britain forever with his massive majorities, I believed he would destroy the Tories and change the Establishment forever. What did he do he carried on with watered down Tory policies. Yes we have the Minimum Wage which is now the normal wage for millions. Yes we have the Academies which is by the end of this parliament, will mean the Privatisation of Education. Yes we have the University places for all, with the debt of £50,000 for all who go. This is the legacy of Blair, not one ounce of Socialism in his genes. nor in those backstabbing our Leader. We have our Party back, after May fight them and go for the Cull.

We don't deserve to be undermined by disaffected right-wingers.

You and second X 11 sabotaged Corbyn's Leadership from Day 1. You took away your experience and the support a new leader would expect from shadow cabinet. Then complained about chaos in main stream media undermining Corbyn at every stage. Dan Jarvis talked about a coup after EU referendum last March. It was common knowledge in the Westminster bubble. You and your 10 mates have enormously damaged the Labour Party. Childish Petulance has no place in British Politics. The electorate voted you to oppose Tories not your own leader. Your stage managed coup has delighted right wing media and in a time of crisis in the country, rather than opposing Tories you have demeaned your DEMOCRATICALLY elected leader, The Labour Party and most of all yourself as a trusted member of parliament. If Corbyn is not on ballot, do you really think a new leader would be regarded as legitimate!
You and your gang of bullies will be responsible for a split and you will go down in history as the man who destroyed Labour Party. You disgust me.

Please add my name to this letter. I was never more disgusted than yesterday. Umunna may as well have joined the Tories in laughing and cheering the pay cap on our public servants. THIS was the real callenge, and more energy supporting that would have been appreciated. Umunna and his friends have NO credibility, are NOT cool, and are working to bring down our party, while its membership has worked under Corbyn to do the opposite - and worked incredibly hard! If it were not for Jeremy's insistence that we keep giving people another chance and work for unity, the majority of the membership would have seen this band of nasty, Torylite plotters out of a job some time ago! Many of their constituents would gladly see the back of them too - they were rescued this time by the snap nature of May's election. There are masses of talented and able people who would step in and support the Party with energy and loyalty, and are waiting for the chance to do just that. These plotters need to get their noses down and do some REAL work on behalf of their Party and the electorate which needs the valuable work of our strong opposition waiting in the wings for government, not daft demonstrations of divisive petulence, or they need not be surprised to find their days are numbered.

Well done all concerned. So sick of all this stuff. I reminded Mr Umunna yesterday that he is now saying something completely different from what he said last year as reported in The Huffington Post. http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/chuka-umunna-single-market-free-movement-brexit_uk_57e3e201e4b0db20a6e8b057 'Chuka Umunna: We Should Be Prepared To Sacrifice Single Market Membership To Axe Freedom Of Movement."

I'm still waiting for a reply to his "change of mind!" As some folk have said to him online (Twitter) Is this just another 'vanity' outing for my Umunna.

Just when Mr Corbyn has had the most fantastic mandate, these people have to spoil it AGAIN!

BBC is reporting that Mr Corbyn has "sacked" 3 front benchers which is of course untrue. These people knew when they refused the whip their positions were gone. So now we have fake news again. Are these people really willing to sabotage Labour's hope of getting power? Gross dereliction of duty to the party & the country. Maybe had they been more openly supportive we may have won this election

Some new members on Twitter talking about leaving Labour Party because of the allegedly 3 sackings. I spent hours yesterday explaining the rules. Of course it was said, Mr Corbyn didn't follow 3 line whip. I replied: "That's why he was forever on the back benches!" We have to get the information out there to all our members explaining why this has happened. I ticked off Laura Kuenssberg for her "half truths". If anyone can I think it would be really important to support Jon Snow as Tories are making waves about getting him sacked, because he has been only journalist to really support Labour.

I've had enough of all of these miscreants. They either put up or shut up. That may sound harsh but they wouldn't get away with this in the real work place.

I totally agree with the signed letter, it is about time the party united behind Jeremy Corby and work as a team to get the Tories out. Please feel free to add my name. Labour member and staunch supporter of JC.

I am in my eighties and always voted Labour, but, only joined the Party 2years ago because we have a Leader who really cares for everyone. I fully back Jeremy and John and trust them to do their best for the Country and its people. I am furious that the right in the Party are still determined to get Jeremy and John out and know that there are plans afoot to thwart any changes they want to make to be more inclusive of the membership as at the moment a few Non Jeremy supporters are making major decisions and do not want things to change. So I believe the right are planning to make sure they stay in control at the Party Conference in September, so be prepared and make sure they do not get their way
